mDL / mPassport

Age Verification and Digital Identification.

Replace visual ID checks with hardware-based cryptographic authentication. MagTek's DynaFlex II Go reads ISO/IEC 18013-5 credentials and scans 1D/2D and PDF-417 barcodes.

Under 1.5s

Total parse and validation time for typical credential requests.

100% Secure

Cryptographic verification against trusted issuer certificates.

ISO/IEC 18013-5

Standards-based mobile credential exchange.

Privacy Preserving

Request only what you need while protecting personally identifiable information (PII).

Digital identity

Age Verification and Payment in One

DynaFlex II Go reads and locally authenticates the identity credential, so you can trust its authenticity, not just what displays on a screen.

A firmware upgrade adds support to read and validate state-issued mobile driving licenses, digital passports, and other ISO/IEC 18013-5 mobile documents while the same reader continues to accept payment transactions.

  • Credentials are cryptographically bound to the consumer’s mobile device.
  • DynaFlex II Go locally validates mDL and digital passports against trusted VICAL/IACA certificates. Local validation is faster and requires no Internet connection.
  • Age-verify or populate KYC profiles without manual data entry errors.
  • DynaFlex II Go also supports EMV L3 payments and is certified with the Magensa Payment Protection Gateway.

From Wallet Tap to Verified Trust

Simplify the process of identity authentication.

1

Consumer prepares

Government-issued mDL, mPassport, or other mDoc digital credentials from a digital wallet or app.

2

NFC or QR Engagement

Tap or scan using the DynaFlex II Go to start ISO/IEC 18013-5 engagement and transmit over Bluetooth LE.

3

Cryptographic trust

DynaFlex II Go is loaded with trusted VICAL/IACA certificates for local, offline decisioning.

4

Value unlocked

Receive verified attributes—prove age without oversharing—or populate KYC profiles.

Use Cases

Consolidate ID Verification and Payment Into One Workflow

Age verification, onboarding, intake, and high-assurance checks across retail, financial services, healthcare, and travel.

Retail & hospitality

Prove a customer is over 21 without exposing full name, birth date, or home address.

Financial services

Speed in-person account opening and high-value transactions with cryptographic identity proof.

Healthcare

Match patients to records at intake and maintain auditable verification for controlled workflows.

Travel & transit

Move passengers faster with standardized, tamper-resistant digital passport or identity credentials, or by reading Aztec Codes from airline boarding passes.

Retail

Age Verification Without the Overshare

Age-restricted purchases at the register

The Situation

A customer buys age-restricted merchandise. Instead of squinting at a physical ID or typing a birth date into the POS, the customer presents their phone to the DynaFlex II Go via NFC tap or optical QR code scan. Your system receives a cryptographically verified “is 21 or over” response. No full license scan is required, and no personally identifiable information (PII) is entered into the POS.

Physical credentials

Shoppers who do not yet have a mobile driving license or digital passport still present a physical credential. DynaFlex II Go reads a physical driving license PDF-417 barcode.

A Win-Win for Businesses and Consumers

Businesses gain speed, accuracy, and fraud defense. Consumers keep control of what identity data they share. Developers use APIs to add a service.

For the Business

Operational and compliance outcomes from one tap or scan.

Eliminate manual entry

Replace error-prone key-in processes with privacy-preserving, validated credential data.

Counterfeit defense

Validate origin chains cryptographically—not just what looks correct on a screen.

Faster lines

Shorten checkout and onboarding with sub-1.5-second reading and validation.

For the Consumer

Familiar tap or scan experience with stronger privacy controls.

Privacy-preserving

Share only the attributes required—like age threshold—not the entire credential.

Wallet-native

Use credentials already stored in leading digital wallets or state apps.

Instant validation

A quick tap or scan replaces handing over a physical ID for visual inspection.
